Elasto-plastic models for composites can be classified into three categories in terms of a
length scale, ie, macro scale, meso scale, and micro scale (micromechanics) models. In …

Cellular media materials are used for automobiles, aircrafts, energy-efficient buildings,
transportation, and other fields due to their light weight, designability, and good impact …

This study proposes a micromechanical model based on a modified multi-scale mean field
approach that predicts the overall behavior of long fiber reinforced elastoplastic and …

Mean-field homogenization methods relying on the solution of Eshelby's inclusion problem
do not provide accurate predictions when the interaction among reinforcements becomes …

Two anisotropic stress-based gradient-enhanced damage models are proposed to address
the issue of spurious damage growth typical of continuous standard gradient-enhanced …

Order reduction of woven composite materials is based on the definition of short fibre

This paper presents an extension of the recently developed incremental-secant mean-field
homogenization (MFH) procedure in the context of elasto-plasticity to elasto-visco-plastic …

An advanced modeling framework is developed for predicting the failure of ductile materials
relying on micromechanics, physical ingredients, and robust numerical methods. The …

The present study focuses on the application of an integral-based approach for constructing
non-local ductile damage models. The incorporation of non-locality into the damage …
